I'm trying to learn to buy groceries, cook for myself again.

Can't afford to buy and keep produce. Limited cookware. So, any recipe telling me to crush garlic, dice onions, etc, can't do.

Need budget, ghetto, for people on a fixed income, easy no frills way to make diy tomato paste pasta sauce.

Good suggestions so far. Tks. I have 1 bowl, 1 plate, 1 spoon, 1 fork, 1 butter knife ; 1 small sauce pan; Only stores nearby are corner stores. Hardly any produce. Having to make due with what you can find in a liquor store.

I make this regularly and it is dummy fucking easy and delicious. My partner hates spaghetti before I cooked this for them. You need onions and garlic. Neither of these items go bad quickly. Keep them in a drawer or cupboard out of sunlight.

Hot Italian sausage Yellow Onion Garlic Can of Crushed San Marzano tomatoes

Angel hair (capellini)

Parmesan Black pepper.

That’s it. Those are all the ingredients.

Put salted pot of water on high. Heat separate pan to medium/ medium-high. Oil. Squeeze Italian sausages between finger and thumb to make little sausage meatballs in the pan (I used 2.5 sausages for two people). Brown. Add 1/3-1/2 diced onion. Brown. Add 5-6 cloves sliced garlic. Brown. Add half can of crushed tomatoes. Stir. Add Angel Hair to pot of boiling water. Turn off saucepan when sauce pan is bubbling. Cool Angel hair a couple minutes. Eat a single one to test if “al dente,” if not cook 30 secs more at most. Drain Angel hair and plate in bowls or on plates. Plate sauce on Angel hair. Grate Parmesan and grind black pepper over top. Serve.
